Re: Champions (Super)Hero Resources

 

yep.

 

 

Ah, I think I figured it out. The link I gave QM earlier doesn't have the "www." in it like this one does.

 

http://www.lostcoastgaming.com/files/masterlists.htm

 

Which is strange, because both work for me. Perhaps the one without the www is for members only... Though I wouldn't understand that if it were -- it's the same webpage either way.

Are you accessing from home or from work? If from work, there is IMO a possibility of it being a firewall/security issue, or just a "we don't want you going to 'these sites'".

 

If from home, perhaps your address is blocked for some reason.

 

What error are you getting when you attempt to navigate there?

 

And what OS and browser are you using?

Home Computer, Firefox browser, XP for OS.

 

And exact error msg:

 

Server not found

 

 

 

 

 

Firefox can't find the server at http://www.lostcoastgaming.com.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Check the address for typing errors such as

ww.example.com instead of

http://www.example.com

 

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

 

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

It springs to my mind that Drak.Net is very anal about spam and maintains very tight firewalls. If anyone from a certain IP has had a password failure on Drak' date=' for instance, that [i']whole IP[/i] will be blocked.

 

So it could be that certain routes to the site end up passing through IPs that Drak has blocked. Depending on distance and chance, that would/could explain why the problem is intermittent for some, and persistent for others. Try to connect once and you are blocked because you've come through a blocked IP. Try again and you get through because this time your route bypasses that blocked IP. Depending on how far you are from a blocked IP, you could be "prohibited" from accessing the site ever, to only having the problem crop up once in a blue moon.

 

I'm no web genius, but having just dealt with a similar issue, it make sense to my poor, tired head. grin.gif

 

There were others who had similar connectivity issues that now seem to be resolved. So give it another try, Tim.
